Patch Notes 4.2 Casually Ranked

Looking forward!

 

Whoop Whoop! Firebomb finally got what was coming to it!
(Also really hyped about having casual all the time)

 

So no increase in battle rewards, and acquiring new weapons is still just as hard, even after you added these new items that makes progression even harder for the items we like ...

I'm gonna quit, guys..Who is with me??
More than anything, community needs more battle rewards.

And what about ship level progression?? I thought you were going to reduce the insane amount of gold required to upgrade them, at least that's what response from Zeus on discord lead you to believe.

 

I still don't want tdm in ranked, I wish they'd give us the choice elimination or tdm

 

Ugh more waiting.. just rip the big bandage off already.
"New items" are somewhat disappointing, just variations of crap we already have.

 

Do we still get battle reward from playing Casual Mode?

 

So can we switch weapons in HTD? Do we still need pieces for Leveling up Reaper?

 

Disappointed that the major bugs in the gameplay mechanics have not been addressed (or not listed in notes)
1. Aiming/Target lock/Smart targeting - this does not work and will not select an enemy within close range
2. Lag/teleporting invisible ships - numerous complaints of this problem and makes game unplayable
3. Unregistered shots/turbo bug/wall stutter bug - many shots do not connect as they should due to use of turbo and hugging a wall so you ship stutters position.
4. Matchmaking balance - my main issue is the balance of the 10 players selected for battle. Eg an uneven spread of ship types (3 fixers v 0 fixers) or infamy

Hoping it’s they just haven’t mentioned these points but have done something about it

 

Same here..Utterly hate this update. After what they did to ship level progression you'd think they'd increase battle reward so that players can have just a bit more gold but nooooooo, devs have to make the progression more and more annoying and frustrating with each new update.

So looking forward to lose all interest in this game after this update, I thought they were gonna make it easier to acquire new weapons and items, but nooooo, they had to make progression even worse by adding this crap.

 

are we gonna have better rewards to upgrade ship and items or getting items will be more difficult as now we need multiple ships .

 

So ...

One life per match is not "hardcore" .. but multiple lives is?

Or does "hardcore" mean something else? Is it "hardcore" because there will be more bugged invisible mines, more invisible shots randomly hitting you for damage, or is it because players will now lag teleport more often?

And .. New items! I guess I'll get to those after I get to the other 60-some odd epic duplicates I've had stored in my inventory for the last six months.


Smart business plan though.

Rather than removing powercells and making parts cheaper (or match rewards better) to allow players to finally cycle through their inventory backlog, so that they might start spending money again ... we'll just rely on all of our big spenders to drop tens of thousands on 8 sets of shields, turbos, weapons, and all the new items (that everyone else won't get to a useable level for 2-3 years) .. then we'll come up with more items for them to buy .. and maybe even another ship or two so they'll have to buy items for those too. Rinse and repeat.


Oh, and more balancing is good. That should force out all the non-whales stuck with worthless items that have been nerfed to the ground. There will certainly be less whining with all the non-whales gone.

 

Can't agree more. Well said.

 

After that, regular rotation of events will continue as you know it.

Noooo nobody wants twodays event in middle of work-week and of so we want to save our Long Hard earned coins.... And no we will not buy coins for real money....

 

How about the Nightmare League reset? It will be done only at 5000? 4000 - 5000 infamy players don’t get reset?

 

• Changed Infamy to be more granular so that it better reflects your performance over time. Everyone will gain their personalized infamy!

Somebody elaborate it please .
